Rankine enters the chat …

For those unaware, degrees Rankine are the same size as degrees Fahrenheit, but counting from absolute zero. It’s the English analogue to the French system’s Kelvin.

ehhh, it's just a scaling factor and no bias/offset, so I'm fine with that. Let's see.

273K = 0°C = 32°F = 491°R

298K = 25°C = 77°F = 536°R

373K = 100°C = 212°F = 671°R

No. That's just crazy.

Rankine and Fahrenheit, all you need for science and everyday.
